Showed up with the family, waited to be seated, not greeted given a "Imma putcha here" and slaps the table. Waitress seemed annoyed we were there, was on her phone most of the time, dropped the food off and that was the last we saw her until we felt very much pushed out the door. I had a pocket full of quarters left for my kids to play before close, all while my wife has a moral dilemma of what to tip this person because it's their livelihood despite the awful job. I like this place, but I'm done eating and going to places where employees can sit on their phones and ignore people. There's plenty of places that don't allow it.

I didn't get a chance to try out their signature brews but the menu was extensive and varied, so I'm excited to come back. Located conveniently on 2nd Ave, its a great place to let your kids roam while you enjoy the local beer and vibe. The games are fun for adults too, and are one of the only things left that haven't been impacted by inflation. Old school pinball machines and a variety of other games to choose from in between your drinks or even as you eat. Loved the corned beef pizza - a st. pattys day special

I did the pirate escape room and it was challenging and hod some the most unique puzzles I have ever seen. Never have any of the other rooms had challenges that required skill and aiming, all the other ones I did were just puzzles of mind. I am hyped to go and do the other ones. There is one main item that I think would be nice to have there. The item I would add is to have a small section where candy bars and chips are sold. Overall though I could not be happier!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I had such a great time testing out our creative brains as we painted Picasso-inspired faces. Thankfully, the staff were generous with the paint! I think I asked for more paint 3-4 times... maybe I just like to glob in on, though. :) The space we painted in fit approximately 20-25 people. There was another room where splatter painting occurs. I think every one of us in our group said, "OooooOOOOooooo," as we passed that room on our way out. I will be curious to check it out sometime.

From the moment we checked in, the energy was off. The front desk staff member who greeted us (blonde hair, long fake nails) didn't make eye contact, barely acknowledged us, and came across as unfriendly and disengaged. In a place designed for kids and families, this kind of first impression matters, and unfortunately, it set the tone. The facility includes a climbing zone, a small café, an arcade, and open space for kids to play. Marlee, who was working at the prize area, was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our visit. She was warm, upbeat, and engaging with every child who approached her. She truly brought the kind of energy this place should be known for: fun, respectful, and interactive. If every staff member had her approach, this would be a five-star review. She deserves a promotion or at the very least, recognition. That said, the rest of the staff seemed either disinterested or unprepared to manage the space. Kids were sprinting around recklessly, bumping into others and causing minor chaos with no supervision or redirection. Staff members were either too young, too inexperienced, or simply unwilling to intervene. Several arcade machines were broken, without signage, and remained so even after it was brought to staff's attention. Kids were losing tokens repeatedly and having to return to the counter to ask for help, which became frustrating and took away from the fun. This center has potential, but what it really needs is not just updated attractions, but a serious upgrade in staff training, supervision, and customer engagement. A fun place should feel fun, safe, and welcoming--and right now, it's missing the mark.

This is for the new location by the airport - the staff are nice kids & adults managing seem…read morefriendly. However it is highly inefficient & some areas are very slow due to lack of following the directions they set in place. Our child waited 45 minutes for the zip line (she ultimately got sad & frustrated and went to do another activity). The staff was letting other kids from the wall climb line do zip line once they got on the set up area. This might be due to the fact the set up area holds on the harnesses. I stood in line for 10 minutes for a shake, waited an additional 10 minutes to ask someone to make the shake, and an additional 10-15 minutes for them to prepare it. 30-35 minutes for a shake shouldn't be normal. The problem is that they have 1 employee for the whole dessert & sweets counter and they had to make ice creams & other sweets for other people who came in after we paid for our shake. This shouldn't be normal protocol on a Saturday afternoon. Managers or back up staff should've been ready to step in when there was a line forming. Overall, it's got lots of fun things for the kids - but the inefficient way they run things and the zip line area is a huge miss. Ultimately creating a very sad day for our kids to start. Plan to spend 3-4 hours just to enjoy things if it's this inefficient.
